In terms of New Year happenings it's as traditional as turkey risotto and picking the pine needles out of the shagpile. Yep, fierce panda's annual resolution-bustin' musical hoedown Pandamonium í16 returns to give you, the leftfield alt.pop lover, a taste of a magical musical tomorrow today.

THURSDAY JANUARY 14TH: DALSTON THE VICTORIAHELSINKI + KINGSLEY CHAPMAN & THE MURDER
In which Babyshambler and general muso-around-town Drew McConnell brings his wholesome Helsinki gang to East London for a special lowkey full band show, armed with the shabbily endearing 'A Guide For The Perplexed' album. Expect his 'Choices' duet with Pete Doherty as a single release sooner than even we think. Support from noirish Stockton-On-Tees combo defined as a "Northern songster singing cabaret death songs with a band called The Murder".
